And we're doing the morning session. Ask us plenty of questions. Did you get the tyre scrubbing sorted?

Cheers Sean, I'd likely do the morning session with you guys. I raised the car 15mm all round and installed a new front sway which has stiffened the front up a bit. I'll take it for a flog this weekend to make sure it's fully cured...

Thanks Nat, I emailed the website yesterday arvo but no response as yet...

Do you know what is involved in getting a clubman license please?

Also any experience with standard Brembo pads, pretty much like new but have experienced brake fade at HL so want to upgrade. Ordering red stuff today but not sure they will be here / bedded in in time...

Brake fluid change would bet hurt too, I have Penrith super dot 4 at the moment, any suggested suppliers for the race stuff?

Thanks again

the penrite super dot 4 is good street and can last for 2 yrs like oem but not enough for track.

this is better
Penrite RBF600 Dot 4 Racing Brake Fluid 500mL

get 2 x 500ml bottles and do full flush and clear all bubbles and do an abs pump cycle if you have a vagcom cable.

also available at repco and autobarn (but more expensive).

other options cost more, e.g. motul rbf600.

the licence is basically filling in a form at the lakeside office and show your qld licence, pay up and done

Don't let Nat scare you. I ran Penrite Super on a mostly stock setup at Time Attack for a while and didn't have any serious issues. The main thing is being conscious of the pedal underneath you--if it becomes spongey, it's a sign that your fluid is getting to the point that it's had enough for the day.

but u dont want that fluid to go off after just 1 session..

Remsa will be adequate for occasional track use, I ran them for a while on both Polo's, red (312mm rotor) and silver (288mm rotor), though I was probably on their limit in the red car and exceeded their limit on the silver - though I'm running semi slicks... So, like with the fluid, best to not drive within a whisker of their ability, roll off the throttle that little bit earlier, i.e. run it to 95% braking rather than 100%, that little bit will ensure you don't overheat it or out brake yourself. It's the peak spike in temp when you've overcommitted that that overheats the brakes and tyres.

I've got QFM A1RM's on the track polo now and they are great for my application. I think Nat may have pushed their limit on his car, so may be trial and error. The error doesn't mean binning it, just the brake pedal will lack feel for days there after, assuming it comes back to good feel. I've never had issues with brake fluid and when I've overcooked the pads, it's lacked feel rather than clamping ability. Though once they've cooled and you drive the next day, they've lacked clamping.




Hi Bryan, thought that might have been you.
